You can access a tumblr JSON feed by typing this into your address bar:

http://blogname.tumblr.com/api/read/json?num=5

The "num" determines how many posts to display. Replace "blogname" with the blog you want.

You can also use jQuery to collect tumblr blog information and display it:

$.getJSON('http://blogname.tumblr.com/api/read/json?num=5'&callback=?', function(data) {

   $.each(data['posts'], function(i, posts) {

      post = data['posts'][i];

      // go from here

      // url = post['url']

      // date = post['date']

      // type = post['type']

      // the other information will be post-specific

   });

});

The URL for this blog would be:

http://jsonfeedtest.tumblr.com/api/read/json?num=17

About This Blog

Welcome the the tumblr JSON Feed Test.

The purpose of this blog is to allow people to test their scripts that collect information from tumblr blogs. We all may have a friend or two that have all manner of tumblr posts, but this blog serves as a short, single-purpose blog that has only a small number of posts.

I didn't find any other blogs like this and I personally needed one.

Please do not follow this blog or like any posts--they will all simply be placeholders for the purpose of testing.

This blog is not affiliated with tumblr or the tumblr staff. It is run by Abluescarab.
